My Profile

Andrew was a great guide. His knowledge of the countryside and its' wildlife was incredible. We had a great trip. The rafting trip actually takes you into Slavakia which was a plus for me. As Andrew explained since 1997 the river has changed making it a two country trip.

Not the trip to take when it is raining outside. The cemetery in Zakopane is the most incredible cemetery I have ever seen. It was the one plus to an otherwise bad, rainy day. Andrew, our guide, was great!

The video that is shown on the way to the Museum is very sobering but also helps to set the context of Auschwitz. We had a good guide at the camp and saw all the important but awful sites. This is one place everyone should be required to come to see the horror of mankind.

On the way to Luxembourg we stopped at the memorial for the Battle of the Bulge. It was not in the type of condition I was expecting. There needs to be more work to commemorate where these men fell! Our guide was not as good as the other guides I have had on this trip. He did not have much commentary.

The greatest problem I had with this trip was that it was run in four different languages. The guide would talk in English, and then 3 different languages. It was impossible to keep up with! The trip itself was good and I enjoyed seeing the different cities BUT it was too difficult to keep up with the language problem. I suggest they take smaller vans and have them language specific.
